Chapter 834 - The Meeting Of Bad People (1/2)

When the gala dinner began, the conference participants were amazed by the table arrangement and the food served by world-class Michelin chefs. The entertainment provided for them was also top-level, featuring the world's best musicians under the management of Brilliant Mind Media.

There was a sound of admiration here and there when delegates saw the dishes presented and the magnificent gala dinner decorations. They had never attended a gala dinner conference that was as lavish as tonight. The attendees were treated like royalty or high-class socialites.

The gala dinner began with a very charming classical music performance, followed by an opening speech by Dr. Muller who was one of the leaders at the Berlin Metropole Hospital as the host of the conference this time.

After that, there were several other performances followed by a speech from London Schneider as representative of the Schneider group. His speech was brief but amazed everyone present.

The reputation of the Schneider family and also his good looks as an heir to the family really caught the attention of many people. When he was standing on stage to give his speech, London noticed there was a commotion at one of the tables in front.

He smiled faintly when he saw Danny Swann arrive at the ballroom and immediately looked for the table where Caroline was seated. John Wendell and his daughter looked like they saw a ghost when he came to their table. Jan was indeed very efficient, London praised inwardly. Jan managed to make Danny Swann arrive on time.

London immediately finished his speech and followed by a standing ovation from the guests present. He then got off the stage and approached the table where John and Caroline Wendell were.

”Good evening. Is everything all right here?” He greeted them in a warm voice. Caroline looked awkward seeing London Schneider and Danny Swann in the same place.

”N-nothing,” Caroline stammered.

Danny Swann, who saw her attitude changed, was astonished. He then took her hand and tried to position his body in front of Caroline's as if showing ownership. However, Caroline reflexively avoided him and brushed off the man's hand.

”Don't touch me,” said the girl.

”Honey, why are you acting like this? I didn't do anything wrong to you ...” Danny said. He then turned towards John Wendell. ”Uncle, what's wrong with Caroline? Didn't we make a deal? I did what you asked me to. I came here to tell you that everything was settled.”

”I don't know what you mean ...” said John Wendell in a cold voice. He took the glass of wine and gulped it down.

”Uncle, we don't need to worry anymore. Marianne will no longer be a problem for Caroline and me to be happy.” Danny Swann explained. ”I have got rid of her.”

John Wendell seemed to widen his eyes with a surprised expression, and his body retreated slightly. His voice was hoarse as he accused Danny Swann while pointing his finger at the man.

”Daniel ... What have you done? Are you crazy? What do you mean by 'got rid' of Marianne ?? Did you do something to her?!”

In his heart, London praised John Wendell's good acting. Now, in public, this old man would blame everything on Danny Swann.

Very good.

”What do you mean by this, Uncle? Didn't you ask me to get rid of Marianne so that I could control all of my grandfather's inheritance? That was the only way you would let me marry Caroline? Why are you suddenly acting like this?” Danny Swann asked in confusion.

John Wendell looked shocked. His body almost staggered if only Caroline did not immediately support her father.

”Father .. are you alright?” asked the girl, anxiously.
